The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

The value of the life spring lies in its unparalleled life energy.

The life energy can turn a dead tree into a spring, although it can't live and die like the rumors, it can indeed prolong the life of the user, and can also revive the dying person in a short period of time.

In addition, it is an extremely rare alchemy material.

Based on its value and rarity, Arnold finally set a sky-high starting price for it, starting with a bottle of [-] gold coins.

However, the capacity of the magic potion bottles used to seal the spring of life is only about one hundred milliliters.

For those who dared to develop an interest in the spiritual spring of life, although the starting price of one hundred thousand gold coins was not high, it was by no means low.

But this is not the real reason for their uproar.

What really surprised them even more was the second way of obtaining the Spiritual Spring of Life, whose starting price alone was as high as [-] gold coins.

After the eloquent auctioneer stated the starting price for the Spring of Life, he immediately revealed the second way to obtain the Spring of Life.

This method is, within one year, no matter who, as long as he can bring any wandering clansman to the elves living in Thorn City, then the elves will give this person a bottle of life spirit free of charge. spring.

This is the real reason for the uproar among the visitors.

Many people feel that the auctioneer shouldn't announce this acquisition method at this time, because doing so will most likely cause all the auction items to fail.

After all, on the one hand, the minimum [-] gold coins can be obtained by bidding, and on the other hand, as long as you get those wandering elves who are now useless, you can get it for free.

These two choices, even a fool would know how to choose.

This is the opinion of the vast majority of visitors in the venue.

In addition, some visitors also saw from it that the elves living in the city of Thorns were determined to save the clansmen living outside.

However, they didn't know at all that all of this had nothing to do with the elves living in Thorn City, but all because of Anor.

When Arnold made this arrangement, he had already predicted how dismal the auction would end.

Therefore, when Cod, who presided over the auction, told him that they had spent countless manpower and financial resources on the auction, and finally sold less than [-] bottles of the Spring of Life at a starting price of [-] gold coins. Surprised.

Even he was very satisfied with the result.

Because, as long as this auction can be started and concluded smoothly, then his real goal will be achieved.

He has successfully passed this auction to let the world know that the elves are no longer what they used to be.

Nowadays, the Spiritual Spring of Life is no longer a rare treasure that can only be obtained by destroying the elves.

The elves who used to regard gold and silver as dung are now also interested in the gold and silver that they once regarded as dung.

And those who are interested in the spiritual spring of life can now obtain the spiritual spring of life in a more gentle way.

In this way, the root cause that caused the elves to be coveted and even exterminated was completely eliminated.

And, in addition, through this auction, Anor gave those elves who were living outside the chance to return safely.

The so-called one-shot counts, nothing more than the case.

anyway.

After the auction ended, most of the visitors who came for the fountain of life but did not participate in the bidding of the auction left Thorn City in a hurry, or hurriedly sent people around.

It was only at this time that Arnold issued an order to unseal the city gate, and ordered people to escort all the citizens who originally lived outside the city back safely.

The Thorn College outside the city also started classes.

Arnold then moved back to live in the manor he was used to living outside the city, and Olgus naturally followed him.

At the same time, Arnold also pardoned a large number of slaves, and in this special way, the total number of people in Thorn Ridge increased by several thousand people.

No need to mention how happy the slaves were when they received this amnesty.

Less than half a month later, those elves living in various places were sent to Thorn Ridge one after another by interested people from all walks of life.

Anor personally took over the elves.

During this period, the elves he received included pure-blood elves and mixed-blood elves. Just look at the elves who have suffered inhuman torture, and even the elves who are dying and can only rely on magic potions to hang themselves.

These elves, no matter what kind of elves were sent here, no matter whether the one who sent them here was the culprit who hurt them or not, Arnold treated them equally, received them gently and gently, and gave gifts to those who sent them here free of charge. People are the spiritual spring of life in sufficient quantities.

During the period when the number of elves were sent to Thorn City most frequently, Anor could only stay in the special elf receiving center outside the woodland in the south of the city almost every night.

At that time, Ke De and others couldn't figure out why their master, as a lord and an earl, had to do it himself.

It wasn't until they saw with their own eyes that their master healed a dying elf with wood attribute elements, that they didn't know why Anor was like this.

But what they didn't know was that Arnold would only go into battle when no one was available.

What's more, except for the elves who are also elves, it is difficult for Arnold to let the matter be handed over to the subordinates of any race.

It is inevitable that other races will be incompetent in doing this.

Although the elves can do it, Anor is more worried that they will not be able to help but attack the person who sent them here when they see the tragic situation of the tribesman they sent here.

In this way, Arnold is no one available.

Fortunately, the total number of surviving elves living abroad is limited.

Otherwise, if things go on like this, Arnold will inevitably lack skills.

Although he would love to be inexperienced, it's a pity that this is not realistic.

The period when the largest number of elves were sent to Thorn City was only half a month after the auction ended.

At that time, Arnold could receive nearly ten elves every day on average.

After the peak period of more than a month passed, in the next two or three months, Arnold could only receive two or three elves at most every day, and sometimes he could not receive even one elf for many days in a row.

Today, nearly half a year later, Arnold has not received an elf transported here for more than half a month.

In the evening of this day, just when Arnold thought that the servants guarding the elf reception today would not send someone to the lord's mansion to inform him that he had passed.

Nick suddenly came to the front hall and said to him: "Master, someone from the elf reception said that just now a lord who claimed to be the entourage of Fremond Fashen from the Principality of Nigu sent three carts of Elf family. That adult is noble and powerful, and Buddy is worried that he will not entertain him well, so I hope you will rush over as soon as possible."

Suddenly hearing this, Anol couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "The god of law? Is he also a god?"

As soon as the voice fell, Anol realized that he asked a common-sense question that everyone here knows.

Even so, Algus, who was sitting on the side, still answered his question seriously: "The god of law is not a god's residence, but his strength is comparable to that of a demigod, so there is no danger."

Arnold, who knew the answer a step slower through the memory left by the original owner, hurried down the stairs, bent his lips and said with a smile: "That's good."

Then Arnold went to the spirit reception alone.

The follower of the Dharma God had an extremely arrogant attitude. Even when he met the lord of this place, Anol, he never restrained himself.

Arnold didn't entangle him too much. After counting the total number of elves on the three wildebeest carts, he took out a sufficient amount of life springs on the spot and gave them to the other party for free.

That person never stopped in Thorn City too much, he took the life spring and left the city quickly with the knights who came here, not even taking the wildebeest carriage with him.

Buddy arranged for people in Arnold to send the three cars of elves, all of which appeared to be in good condition, into the forest. After the elves in the forest took over the care, he held a small book and a pen full of ink, When he came to Anol's side, he asked hesitantly, "Master, these people...do you want to remember them too?"

"Of course I have to remember." After Anor answered firmly, he spoke again, his tone inexplicably milder: "Since the matter here is over, I will go back to the Lord's Mansion first. You continue to guard here, you have something to do." Send someone to the Lord's Mansion to look for me at any time."

"Okay master." Buddy nodded in response, watching him step by step away from the elf reception.

Afterwards, Buddy almost shook his hands, and recorded the identities of the people who sent the elves, as well as the physical condition and mental state of the elves they sent, one by one in the nameless little book.

From the first time he started writing these things, Buddy had a bad premonition inexplicably.

Said it was a record, but Buddy vaguely felt that he was actually writing a list of revenge.

He didn't dare to imagine how his master was going to deal with those elves who were dying with scars all over their bodies.I dare not even imagine what kind of crisis Thorn Ridge will fall into by then.

All he can do is follow orders.

As for the others, he dare not imagine, nor can he imagine.

-

When Arnold returned to the lord's mansion, Olgus had already gone back to sleep.

After dinner, Anor did not go back to his room to rest, but went into the alchemy room set up here alone, and stayed in it all night.

This state has lasted for a long time.

Dazzlingly, more than half a year has passed.

In the past six months, the elf reception center has never received even one elf.

In addition, the period of one year has come.

Seeing this situation, Arnold knew in his heart that all the living elves living outside might have been sent to Thorn City.

In this way, the existence of the elf receiving station is unnecessary.

Anor ordered people to renovate it in due course, and built a long street there, specially providing it to those elves who are willing to contact the world outside the forest for rent.

So far, the total number of elves gathered in the woodland south of the city is no more than a thousand.

And all of them have been deprived of magic power, unable to use magic to protect themselves.

If Arnold allows such a group of elves to return to the embrace of nature, one can imagine what will happen to them.

It is precisely because of this that Anor prepared the woodland south of the city for them to live in when Thorn City was rebuilt.
